Speaker gives career advice at seminar
By Tony Leberto
Many techniques associated with retail, used on a more personal level, can be very helpful in an interview type situation, ac¬ cording to John Clark, sales representative for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.
Clark, who spoke at a career seminar last Thursday evening in Raub Hall entitled, "Sales- A Career and Asset," explained that even though not all college students study merchandising, many of the ideas are important for future use-like getting a job. He feels that in an interview-type situation, those being interviewed are a "product try¬ ing to be sold."
According to Clark, techniques such as:
evaluating the prospect, making an ap¬ proach, making a presentation, overcoming objection, and, finally closing the sale are important steps during an interview.
First, by evaluating the prospect, the in¬ terviewee should try to understand and know what to expect from the interviewer. Second, by making and approach, the per¬ son is letting the interviewer know what kind of posititon he/she is looking for. Then when making a presentation, the per¬ son being interviewed is actually "selling" his or herself, thus showing the interviewer what they have to offer.
However, often problems arise that
might jeopardize the chances of obtaining the wanted position. By overcoming the ob¬ jection, the person assures the interviewer that there will be no drawbacks in hiring ¦ them. And by finally "closing the sale," the interviewee makes all the necessary ar¬ rangements with the interviewer and establishes, once again, a positive repore with the future employer.
Mr. Clark also pointed that anyone can use these techniques, "You don't Have to be born into it, all you have to do is to use logic.
Suicide pills needed for nuclear war?
By Kim Wilkinson
It would seem that few students at Lock Haven, nestled in the rolling hills of Clinton County, give much thought to the outside world.
This doesn't ring true for a group of students at Brown University, Rhode Island. Early in October, Brown students voted on a proposal to stock poison "suicide pills" for voluntary use in the event of a nuclear war.
Robert A. Reichley, vice-president of Brown University's relations, was quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education as say¬ ing, "We do not accept the alternative of stockpiling suicide pills. We will not do it no matter how this (the vote) turns out."
The sponsors of the idea felt the referen¬ dum succeeded in raising consciousness among students, not to mention other in¬ stitutions. Not long after, the issue was also raised at a university in Colorado and at the
Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC).
A proposal to stock cyanide tablets was placed on HACC's student government association agenda, in October.
The idea of stocking "suicide pills" seems to be an indicator of the fears and concerns of young Americans, said Dr. Don Crews, psychologist at LHU.
The idea seems to have hit schools with a high social consciousness, according to Crews.
He added, "I see this as a symbolic act, a protest of the cultural madness over a preoccupation with nuclear build-up."
"Some people repress their fears concer¬ ning nuclear wars, some ignore the problem and go on. This seems to be the silent ma¬ jority," Crews said.
These students decided to deal with the problem by calling attention to themselves.
"Appeals to suicide are ways of calling for help. This is a dramatic call for help to those who might ber able to change the situation. It is an honest feeling of powerlessness."
He added, "To choose how to die is an act of power assertion-a defiance of powerlessness."
Beth M. Grossman, a senior and presi¬ dent of Brown University's undergraduate council was quoted in The Chronicle as say¬ ing "I don't think anyone really expected them to stock the pills. That's not really the purpose of it. It's more a symbolic thing."
Crews summed the situation by saying, "These students are not choosing to go with the now, they're trying to swim up stream. I see this as a right cause, but a foolish means."
Christmas party hikes relations
By Diane Chilangwa
The promotion of international relations with the faculty, administration and American students, was the purpose of the International Student Association Phi Mu Delta Christmas party on Saturday.
The party, held at the Phi Mu Delta house, was attended by president of the university Dr. Craig D. Willis, the Lock Haven community, faculty and ad- ministratin members and both International and American students. The party was by invitation only.
This function, which is held annually, gives International students a chance to meet with the neighbors, faculty and ad¬ ministration on a one to one personal level. It also gives the Americans a chance to share Christmas with the Hindu, Muslem, Jewish and Christian foreign students.
"It makes us happy that we can be of use in promoting friendship among the Interna¬ tionals and Americans," stated Phi Mu Delta brother, John Fedak. "We enjoy opening our house to the exchange students and we hope to continue to do so every year."
Also commenting on the event on behalf of the ISA, was President of the Associa¬ tion, Juan Soaje. Soaje thanked the Phi Mu Delta brothers and sisters for the excellent job at making Saturday night a success. He also thanked Dr. Willis, the neighbors, the faculty and administration and all the students who attended the party.
Series of burglaries hit campus
By David Smith
A series of burglaries has hit the campus in the past week and a half.
Just before Thanksgiving break, a burglar entered the secretaries office in Zimmerli and stole a brand-new $738 typewriter. According to Dick Hepner, Director of Law Enforcement and Safety at Lock Haven University, "There was no sign of forceable entry, so we feel the
burglar has a key."
During Thanksgiving Break, four dif¬ ferent dormitory mail rooms on campus were robbed of a total $180. These burglaries were all of the same nature as the first, no forceable entrance.
Law Enforcement has no leads, but are working on preventing this problem from happening again.
Piano recital is a big success
By Holly Reitzel
Senior Christina Wong presented a piano recital in Sloan Theatre to over a 120 member audience on Friday evening.
Wong's recital which lasted nearly an hour consisted of six pieces: Sonata No. 9 in F major by Haydn; Waltz in Db major. Op. 70 No. 3 and Waltz in E minor by Chopin; Sonata in C minor Op. 10 No. I by Beethoven; GoUiwogg's Cake Walk by Bedussy; and Bulgarian Dance No. 6 by
Bartok.
Wong said that she was nervous at first, but once she got into the music, she said she lost her nervousness. She claims that she was satisfied with the recital, and she was pleased mostly with her first piece. Sonata No. 9 in F major by Haydn.
Wong's family traveled nine hours from their home near Boston in order to be pre¬ sent at Wong's recital.
Rick Petersen cap¬ tured the heavyweight title in the Billy Sheridan In¬ vitational Wrestling Tournament at Lehigh University over the weekend. For more details on how the rest of the wrestling team faired, turn to page 3.
